I have been scouring the web looking for decently priced flights to a sunny destination and winter has not even officially even begun. With the busy holiday season ahead of us I know that our family spends more time away from home visiting family and friends. Forgetting something important can put a damper on our holiday fun so we’ve put together a list of must-have holiday travel essentials.

Must-Have Holiday Travel Essentials

Whether you are travelling to escape the cold or to visit family during the holidays, the first step to a successful journey is a well-packed bag and some of the contents below may surprise you!

must-have holiday travel essentials

  1. Documents: Do you have your passport, itinerary, booking reference codes and insurance forms packed? A misplaced bag at the airport or hotel could leave you stranded. Make sure to back up your documents with an online copy. Use a secure place like Google Drive that can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
  2. Comfy shoes: No matter what you’re travelling for, you can bet you will be doing lots of walking. Make sure to pack a comfy pair of shoes that will keep you going all day.
  3. Reusable water bottle: Not only will you save money by bringing your own water along, but it’s also a helpful reminder to stay hydrated throughout your trip. This is especially important if you are going somewhere hot or will be doing lots of activities.
  4. RestoraLAX: Traveler’s constipation is very common thanks to the lack of physical movement while in transit, stress and change in diet. RestoraLAX is an easy way to restore your body’s natural rhythm. Dissolve RestoraLAX into your favourite hot or cold drink – there’s no grit or taste!
  5. Headphones: Make sure to pack your favourite pair of headphones so you can zone-out and enjoy yourself on the journey, chill-out on the beach or even block out the commotion of other travellers during the holidays.
  6. Allergy medication: You’ve probably packed your vitamins, deodorant, glasses and toothbrush, but did you pack your allergy medication? Going to a different climate or environment can expose you to potential allergens and make for an unpleasant trip. Claritin Rapid Dissolve gives you non-drowsy, 24-hour allergy symptom relief, so you can enjoy every second of your vacation. These dissolve instantly on your tongue so you do n’t need water. From the ocean to the mountains, you can take it anywhere!

Enjoy your vacation! What unexpected travel items can you never leave at home? I would love to know, leave your suggestions in the comments below.

    You’ve got great tips but remember medical documents especially if you’re on narcotics

    I always bring a large flash drive or hand held hard drive so that I can back up my pictures from the computer as I’ve had crashes and lost everything!

    RestoraLAX is something I will never forget again (I hope). It can come in soooo handy. And I found out that to purchase something comperable in a foreign country is costly.

    Bringing RestoraLAX along was not something I thought about but a good idea and I always have some comfy shoes for walking tours . Documentation for all prescription medication and enough for trip.

    This is a great list for when we are planning a holiday. I never used to bring online copies of documents but I do now as an extra safeguard.
